Emotions are already running high in Philadelphia for the NFL opener between the Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. Minutes after Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott, another fight broke out. This one during a kick return following an Eagles touchdown.

Teams began pushing and shoving before the brawl began. Multiple big-time players on both sides were involved, including Philly cornerback Cooper DeJean . A helmet winds up falling off in the scrum due to hand fighting as well, appearing to be linebacker Marist Liufau .

In the end, two unsportsmanlike penalties were called, both on the Cowboys. One of them was Liufau, despite getting his hat taken off. You can check out the full sequence down below in a clip captured by Warren Sharp on X.
